IA "UNOVA Media" based on Citycelebrity materialsThe Committee on Investments and Strategic Projects of St. Petersburg, together with the crowdsourcing platform Citycelebrity ru, submitted for open discussion a project to create a creative cluster in the city that will unite creative entrepreneurs and startups, exhibition halls and offices, studios and editorial offices.

The main purpose of the open discussion is to improve the draft concept and accumulate the best proposals for inclusion in the Concept Implementation Program. The result of the open discussion will be presented within the framework of the event, to which media representatives and participants of the discussion who presented the most constructive proposals will be invited.

Konstantin Garanin, founder of the Citycelebrity crowdsourcing platform, comments on the project: "To build strong territorial brands, the participation of people living in these territories is necessary. As a rule, they know the peculiarities of their region better and can tell professionals a lot. The involvement of people through crowdsourcing in the process of building an image, a territorial brand, has become the norm throughout the civilized world and Russian specialists are gradually realizing this. With varying degrees of success, crowdsourcing technology is used by Samara, Yaroslavl, Moscow and other Russian cities."
